Discovery of FoTO1 and Taxol genes enables biosynthesis of baccatin III - Nature An approach that combines single-nucleus RNA sequencing and multiplexed perturbation identifies genes that enable the biosynthesis of direct precursors of the anti-cancer drug Taxol, whose curren...

@cmcclune.bsky.social will be at the GRC for Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology! Be on the lookout for his talk on Wednesday (8/13) at 9.10 am. Talk will be about some new approaches and discoveries recently published in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #grc #singlecell #plantbiology

New insights in plant gene research could boost cancer drug production A novel approach to analyzing yew tree genes has revealed key enzymes used to make Taxol, a chemotherapy drug that’s long been difficult and costly to produce.

Great article in today’s Stanford Report on our recent work deciphering how yew trees produce Taxol

Biochemical breakthrough paves way to reliable supply of anticancer drug ‘Missing’ genes needed for the biosynthesis of a natural anticancer drug have been discovered by perturbing and analysing individual cells of yew trees.

Thanks to Jakob Franke for highlighting the Taxol/FoTO1 gene discovery and the mpXsn approach spearheaded by @cmcclune.bsky.social in @nature.com! Check it out here: www.nature.com/articles/d41... #plants #anti-cancer #singlecell #plantbiology

Preprint for the exciting, upcoming Nature paper! @cmcclune.bsky.social, Jack, Chloe, and Ricardo from the Sattely lab (in collaboration with @pollyfordyce.bsky.social) discovered genes for the anti-cancer drug Taxol pathway - plus a gene boosting the production of a bottleneck intermediate!

Working in science is particularly challenging these days, but hopefully, your plants offer a daily dose of joy. #plants

The 1st Annual Bay Area Plant Hub recently concluded, and it was a resounding success! We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with everyone. Hope you had a chance to stop by @caseyvchan.bsky.social 's and @taralowensohn.bsky.social 's posters. Plus listen to an intriguing discussion with Beth and others 🌱
